How could i use this tool as a professional educator?
I think that this tool would be really useful to use as a professional. It would be an efficient way to communicate with people in the same areas of interest. I have joined the edflinMultiMedia10 group as part of the Multimeida Literacy Topic. By engaging in discussion with other members of the group I have already built up a bunch of rich resources that will be helpful for me as a future teacher and also given me ideas that i can already use as a student teacher and learner.
How could i use this tool in the Primary Classroom?
Apart from Google Groups being used as a collaborative tool for teachers, I believe it could also be used in the same way for a group of students. THe teacher could initiate a topic or question of discussion and have the students post discussions on that topic or question.
